Five-year-old Elliotto has shouldered his way into the $1 million Railway Stakes after winning the 1500m R.J. Peters Stakes at Ascot.The Neville Parnham-trained horse had to beat off the challenge of fellow Railway bidder Colour Correct, but won through to clinch a narrow win.
Colour Correct ended up in second and may still sneak into the November 21 highlight, depending on who accepts for the race.
Parnham said of Elliotto: "He proved he was up to them last start and Steven gave him a good ride today.
"We will push forward for the Railway and I think we have a good chance."
Online horse racing markets for the Railway are yet to open at most bookmakers, but Elliotto is likely to be among the main chances.
Ortensia is to complete a track run on Tuesday which will determine whether or not she appears next Saturday or is held for the group 2 Winterbottom Stakes a week after.
Gold Salute, a likely favourite for Saturday, will be looking to win his first group race and seal an invitation to December's Hong Kong Mile on International day.
